First the NY Times and now CNN -- finally -- focus on the Obama-Ayers connection.

"But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said."

Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorhn were founders of the radical group the Weathermen -- which through the late 60s and early 70s bombed public buildings, including the U.S. Capitol, killed police officers and robbed banks.

NPR this morning described Ayers as a "former terrorist." Isn't that sort of like being a "former child molester" or a "former cannibal"?
